As far as training is concerned they are being trained to be held, touched, and to come when we snap our fingers or call to them. Where they are not pure I can't show them, However we want them to be handled daily so they wont attack people. They have been handled daily since they were hatched. And now at 2 weeks, they still come when called, and talk to us, use the kids as perches, and even mess with my daughters hair.

Thats nice. My kids handle all the incubator hatched chicks the same way. The love snuggling up in there hair. And my kids make perfect mama hen sounds, which gets the chicks all excited to feed or follow them around its cute.

The chicks raised by mama hens are wild as can be. I still have some chickens at my parents house that I have never touched. They'd rather die trying to squeeze through a chain link fence than let me handle them. Its a travesty. lol

I have 2 GLW hens that are like that. We brought them up around us, but now they want to never be touched. I believe it is the breed itself. Any GLW that I have had, has been that way. I told my kids when they die of old age that is it no more GLW's ever. We have BO's in the coop and the 2 little games have a cage in there. The BO chicks lay close to the games at night time, like they are protecting them. The NN's are always there to, and when the little games come in, all the BO's want in.

The kids, and myself included take turns, with all of our chicks, trying to handle them and get them ready for when they are fully grown. I have 2 roosters at the big property that were never handled as chicks. I don't trust them as far as I can spit and I never look in their direction once you do they see it and want to fight with you. Luckily this year they are losing their heads, and being replaced. I believe in keeping only what we candle and anything that shows any type of aggression is culled. My daughter lost her big BO rooster last year when he bit her good. So now she knows how she has to handle all of them as chicks.

Show pictures of putative parents. Do you have any 2 year old kids running about in your breeding pen area?

Sorry no adults to compare except for parents. After some investigating into the cockbird as far as color, size and chick color I'm leaning towards chocolate Albany but I'll never know I'm gonna rear them up just to see how they feather out.
